2021-22 NBA Thread: The Bucks are Reigning Champs

[MuggsyB]

Marcus Smart out tonight.

Good.  He's a freaking hack machine.  Hopefully the Bucks take advantage.

[GB Warrior]

Man, this feels like game they have to have with Smart out. Idk who is going to be tasked with bringing the ball up the court, but Smart was barely capable against Jrue/Jevon 48 minutes of hell, so the outlook isn't great.

What in the world is Giannis doing?

[The Sultan]

Boston hitting shots they were missing Sunday. Bound to happen.

[MuggsyB]

Good grief.  Down 17??  What on God's Green  Earth is going on? 

[cheebs09]

Better in Boston than Milwaukee. I still think the Bucks make this a game.

[GB Warrior]

Well if you're going to pick a game for Giannis and Jrue to suck, might as well bottom out when Brown can't miss.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  1-10 for Giannis and I see Browm is unconscious.

[MuggsyB]

The Bucks and  Giannis look totally out of sorts.

I may have been mistaken.

WTH happened?  I missed the first Q and a 1/2.   Obviously, Brown is on fire but they look freaking lost out there.

Bad coaching, bad players and bad fans

Celtics raining theees. Bucks playing iso ball and turning it over.

13-20 from distance usually helps.  The ones I saw were wide open. 

[BM1090]

This one's over but I think they bounce back Saturday

[MUBBau]

They lost game 2 in the second round by 39 last year, it happens. At least they aren't coming back to Milwaukee down 0-2

[MuggsyB]

The Bucks seem to be overpresuring the ball like Wojo did at MU.

[MuggsyB]

Giannis is thinking too much.  Just take one dribble and a wide open 12 footer.

[tower912]

Sometimes, losing game 1 at home causes a higher seed to come out focused, leading to a game 2 reversal.   Bucks now have home court.    Playoff basketball.

[MuggsyB]

I would get Giannis in the wide post every possession.  He just needs to slow down a bit and not force things. 

[MuggsyB]

I can't say I'm a fan of Stan Van G's commentary.

[cheebs09]

I would agree. That was a total flop by Williams.

[MuggsyB]

The Bucks obviously can't make only 3 triples and win.  I also think Giannis forced way too much tonight.  Less iso, move the rock. 

[MuggsyB]

I would agree. That was a total flop by Williams.

He also seems to just talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, with basically the same rudimentary "analysis". 

[tower912]

Unacceptable
